Poetic description:
With "Knock" , Thérèse Kalifa offers us a vibrant and offbeat portrait of the clown, this eternally endearing character who juggles between clumsiness and wisdom. With a mischievous yet relaxed air, his hands in his pockets, Knock seems to be taking a break after a busy act. His bowler hat slightly askew, his turquoise bow tie dotted with polka dots and his worn pants – marked with a yellow patch – add a touch of humor and tenderness to this emblematic figure.
The patinated bronze, enhanced with colorful details, gives the work a visual and emotional depth. Each fold of the costume, each line of the face, tells a story: that of an artist with a big heart who, beneath his comical exterior, hides a touching humanity. "Knock" is a celebration of authenticity, of those little moments that make us smile despite the trials.
